Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ruger M77 220 swift

In perfect shape with a scope hardly been shot, forgot what scope been 6 months since I have seen it. Flave said to offer 700, offered 750. He said 800 and he'd throw in two boxes of ammo. Going topick it up next week.

I did tile in his whole house back in Jan. a nice guy.

Nice

I have that same in 22-250

Maybe only 3 boxes through it since I bought it in 1991

Give you $150 for it throw in some dollyworld park passes..

That’ll be a good buck hammer Roger 👊🏻

Had that very rifle, but mine had the bull barrel.

Shot lights out.

Think I'll try to kill a Nilgia with it next Jan. or Feb.

I have one in 22-250 it has the varmint heavy barrel, great rifle that I used in competitions.

That should be a fun one. I had a Ruger 77 220 Swift years ago - heavy target model. Extremely accurate and enjoyed the heck out of it.

Varmint? Tang safety? VT? Two stage trigger? Wood? Laminate?

Details, man, details.

I’ve got it in the heavy barrel that hasn’t seen the front of the safe more than 15 yrs

Good to see you are out kicking azz on something. A good new toy like this Ruger will be therapeutic and well deserved. Let us know how it shoots.

Hopefully it shoots better than the one my my hunting buddy has it just would not shoot no matter what and it was a bull barrel tang safety.

I travel a pretty wide circle if you need any components.

Nice - good for you. Shot mine yesterday. So enjoyable - but probably not going to try it on Nilgai.

My buddy bought me one several year ago.

Nice.

There’s nothing like the feeling of a new gun. Well maybe a few things but it definitely ranks up towards the top😄

I still have the one I bought new in 1977 and it's always been a shooter. It's an old-school woodchuck rifle: heavy 26" barrel and fixed 16X Leupold. You may be looking at a ROT too slow for any bullet you might want to shoot nilgai with (saying that with only the vaguest idea what a nilgai is.)

Years ago, when it was fairly new, a friend of mine and I were shooting it at the gun club on the 200 yard range. When we got done, he wanted to take his target to show his father (who was a varmint shooter and reloader.) Some time later, I saw his father at a funeral or some such event in town and he said, "David showed me that target he shot with your Swift. I said, 'That's a pretty good group.' Then he told me it was 200 yards. If it'd been anybody but David I'd have called him a liar."

Yes.

Girl I work with shot one in Texas. They insisted that she use a 300 win mag because of how tough they are lol
